CARnage

We've all seen it. That amazing heap that has battle scars, and, yet, continues to run. This is where we will put them. For our automotive musings. Enjoy the freak show. Here's mine.

Honestly, it takes VERY little to make many newer cars look like crap.

Local "mobile mechanic" for the immigrant population. I've seen him around for years. Drivers door no longer closes, think it's held in place by  a bungee cord. Apparently he suspected something wasn't right in the front end when he came out of the post office. If you think it looks bad in the pics you should see it in person!

I predict great things for this thread.  I'll come up with my entry next time I need something from Walmart.

Here's one I remember specifically. This was in the parking lot of my hotel when I went to the big Ford show in Carlisle PA a couple of years ago. Note the copious usage of zipties.

Here's another ziptie repair. This one is a little bit more artful.

Meh, I have zipties holding bits of my Cayman to itself.

Does it have to run still? I think the engine was still running post crash...

Rarely do I ever take my phone out to take a picture or video of another car.  But this car I was following one day... the rear axle must have been like 30 degrees out of alignment.  The video makes it hard to tell, but watch the Monte Carlo closely.  Link, because I don't know how to embed a google video.

Is that the Lada that Garage 54 used as a tire inflation cage?
